Just because something has reached the end of its life doesn't mean it can't start a new one as something else. The Fridge Couch demonstrates this exactly. This retro piece of furniture was in a working refrigerator at one point.
Designed by Canadian artist Adrian Johnson, the Fridge Couch was created to be a stylish outdoor seat for a wedding. Made using the exterior of a 1982 avocado green Gibson Frost-Clear Deluxe and the leather interior of a 1984 BMW 325, the Fridge Couch was born.
